Journey

Last Saturday, Roni and I went to the Melting Pot. OH MY GOD! It's soooooo good! We both were impressed by the waitress. This was my first time. The food was just so good.

I'm about to embark on a journey to discover what colleges would be better for me instead of staying here. I know I may get a very low level job, or no job at all if I am in AAS program instead of BA. I already have two AAS, and I think I deserve a BA after all this time in school!

Yes I know, it's a big decision, but I got the go ahead by Roy (and he's the king), and I have his full support in whatever I want to do. He was the one that pushed me into this, so it's not fair to him and to me to just give up when I do have the potential. :-)

Classes are going okay, it's dragging a bit because it's been a month, and so far, I've only worked on 3 things in animation, and touching the surface of programming in DarkBASIC. For my DarkBASIC class, the prerequisite is Visual Basic. And you know what?! The teacher is teaching the SAME stuff that I already learned in Visual Basic...programming. I mean they aren't the complicated stuff, they're the basic stuff like declaring a variable, making a remark, how to determine the number of characters in a line, or whatever.

You know what else pisses me off? The students have the nerve to go online and play games or look at girls (Seriously, a few are addicted to MySpace!). And what's even more pitiful is the teacher doesn't say anything about it. I see these guys looking at semi naked girls with probably 5 sq inch total of fabric on them. I'm just disgusted by this. I know boys will be boys, but keep your wee wee inside the garage until you go home. I would be less pissed if they were looking at game reviews on GameSpot.

yes I know that the majority of the people in the industry are male, but I think they have the maturity to know not to do this stuff while there's some women around.

Eh. what a world.

*beaming smile* Let's go back to the Melting Pot in different place someday!

I know a new change can be scary...like I told you, it takes a leap of faith to see if it works out for you by going to different school. If it doesn't work out, then there is more than one way to go from there...even including move back to NJ. That's what I am pondering now...where I want to go, what I want to do, etc etc...ugh! Changes are part of our life whether if we like it or not.
